Western society says that some decisions are only able to be made by people who are old enough. If you think about other decisions like gambling at a casino, joining the army or purchasing alcohol, then it might help…
Per https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/long-covid-much-more-t..., it sounds like long term physical and mental impacts can stay with people who get hospitalized by the flu. Why are you more worried about long COVID…
IQ might be a better predictor, but the linked paper says it's not a far better one: "The results demonstrate that intelligence is a powerful predictor of success but, on the whole, not an overwhelmingly better…
Hmm, do you think there are some things you can say that would classify as an action you could be arrested for rather than an idea? For example, yelling "Fire!" in a crowded building, offering a bribe, and threatening…

I feel a bit dumb asking this, but your explanation doesn't make it clear to me why you can't think of a bind on Maybe as a flatMap on a List with 0 (Nothing) or 1 (Just) elements. Could you elaborate further on how…
Is this a case of a more specialized tool (with fewer but more focused features)? For example, you can view email in vim, and I'm sure you'd get better performance than Gmail for large emails but very few developers I…
Where do you draw the line for how much you can cut costs and sacrifice a little bit of productivity or retraining? For example, I often see programmers talk about having proper tools to do their job, whether that be…
For what it's worth, I have a counter anecdote. I go to a university where for some computer science courses, your labs are on computers with a Linux desktop environment. Other students seem to do fine in these labs.…
You can add these shortcuts into your browser. On firefox, you can right click on a search box and specify some character(s). I'm sure there's a similar process on chrome too.
At this point, I've set up search keywords in firefox to do this. Now, for example, I type "gi rabbit" for pictures of rabbits. It's nice because they also can be used as shortened parts of links. Eg. "@ john" to go to…
Pascal's Wager (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal's_Wager) is also about a small but likely downside with a potentially large but unlikely upside. Do you think it's analogous to your 2nd case? If not, how is it…
I thought Klathmon was pointing out say that they an attacker could say that they just mashed on the keyboard and that would be good enough for the fallible human on the other end of the phone. Anecdotally, I had a time…
I'd argue that 3DS piracy would have continued even if Nintendo opened up for homebrew. There's money to be made off of it - if there weren't, the initial exploit with a special cartridge wouldn't have been developed.…
You make some interesting points about non-objective discussions on HN. I think your reasoning could justify banning other topics too, so I'm wondering how you would decide that discussions aren't objective enough. For…
That's a lot of $1 purchases. Where are you buying that you make 240k purchases in a reasonable amount of time?
Doesn't it depend where Mylan's profit comes from? I don't know the numbers, but ideally the fine would more than cover the amount they made from EpiPens. In your example, if you legally earned $900MM and then robbed a…
